                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 June 30, 1998

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Rule S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.  All such adjustments were of a
normal recurring nature.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior
period's financial statements to place them on a comparable basis with the
current period's financial statements.  Operating results are for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1998, and are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.  For further
information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included as
Exhibit 13 to Corporation's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

NOTE B - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per common share are computed on the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the period.  As of June 30, 1998, there were
no stock options or other capital items that would dilute the Corporation's
earnings per share.

NOTE C - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

On January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.  As required by SFAS No. 130,
prior year information has been modified to conform with the new presentation.
Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes to the
Corporation's equity, with the exception of transactions with shareholders
("other comprehensive income").  The Corporation's only component of other
comprehensive income is the change in unrealized gains and losses on available
for sale securities.

The Corporation's total comprehensive income for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $1,616,000 and $1,473,000, respectively.  Information
concerning the Corporation's other comprehensive income for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is as follows:

NOTE D - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 133).  FAS 133 requires that all
derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current
earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is
designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge
transaction.  Management of the Corporation has determined that FAS 133 will
have no effect on the Corporation's results of operations or its financial
position as the Corporation does not engage in these types of activities.

NOTE E - REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Regulators of the Corporation and its subsidiaries have implemented risk-based
capital guidelines which require the maintenance of certain minimum capital as a
percent of assets and certain off-balance sheet items adjusted for predefined
credit risk factors.  The regulatory minimums as defined by regulation for Tier
1 and combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital ratios were 4.0% and 8.0% respectively.
Tier 1 capital includes tangible common shareholders' equity reduced by goodwill
and certain other intangibles.  Tier 2 capital includes portions of the
allowance for loan losses, not to exceed Tier 1 capital.  In addition to the
risk-based guidelines, a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital as a percentage
of average total consolidated assets) of 4% is required.   The following table
contains the capital ratios for the Corporation and each subsidiary as of June
30, 1998 and 1997.

During the second quarter of 1998 net income increased $65,000 or 8.1% from the
$799,000 earned during the second three months of 1997, to $864,000 earned
during the same period in 1998.  This improvement was primarily the result of
increases in the interest margin of $87,000, or 2.8%, and in noninterest income
of $114,000, or 19.3%.  The increase in noninterest income was attributable to
an increase in trust fees of approximately $50,000.  Also, approximately $59,000
in losses on securities for the second quarter of 1997 were not incurred in
1998.  Additionally, the provision for loan losses decreased $105,000, or 44.1%,
all attributed to a reduction in net charge-offs for the quarter.  These
improvements were offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of $214,000.
Earnings per share for the second quarter of 1998 were $0.43 compared to $0.40
per share for the second quarter of 1997.  When compared to the first quarter of
1998, net income increased $139,000, from $725,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 1998, to $864,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  This was
attributable to increases in the interest margin of $128,000, and in noninterest
income of $203,000, along with a reduction in the provision for loan losses of
$55,000 which helped offset an increase in noninterest expenses of $162,000 when
compared with the first quarter of 1998.  Earnings per share increased $0.07 per
share from $0.36 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, to $0.43 per
share for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                     AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
                                        
The improved performance during the second quarter enhanced the earnings for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1998.  Net income was $1,589,000 for the first
six months of 1998 which was an increase of $185,000, or 13.2%, over the 1997
level of $1,404,000.  Increases in the interest margin of $333,000, or 5.5%,
attributable to increased loan volume, contributed to the improved earnings.
Also, noninterest income increased $126,000, or 11.7%.  Trust fees were a
contributing factor in improved noninterest income, reflecting growth in and
enhanced pricing for fiduciary activities.  Noninterest expenses increased
$197,000, or 4.3%, to $4,768,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from
$4,571,000 for the same period in 1997.

Earnings per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 were $0.79
compared to $0.70 per share for 1997.  The Corporation's performance through
June 30, 1998 reflects an annualized return on average assets of 1.11% and a
return on average equity of 11.70%.

Total assets increased approximately $28.8 million from December 31, 1997 to
June 30, 1998.  Approximately $15 million of this growth was the result of the
completion of an acquisition of the Bluefield, Virginia branch of First American
Federal Savings Bank, Roanoke, Virginia, during the second quarter of 1998.
Additionally, approximately $10 million was attributable to short-term deposits
and repurchase agreements at June 30, 1998, resulting from seasonal fluctuations
by some of the Corporation's larger customers.  Total assets at June 30, 1998
were $305.5 million as compared to $276.7 million at December 31, 1997.  The
loan portfolio continued to grow during this six-month period, increasing to
$205.6 million or an increase of $8.5 million or 4.3%.  The investment portfolio
remained essentially unchanged during the first six months of 1998.  As
previously discussed, total deposits increased approximately $21.8 million
during the first half of 1998, with most of this increase occurring in the
interest-bearing category.

The Year 2000 (Y2K) problem continues to be a major focus of the financial
services industry.  The Corporation has been working diligently on this problem
for many months.  Internal reviews of all software and hardware have now been
completed.  Internal test and contingency plans have been developed for all
mission critical applications and actual testing on these systems should be
completed by December 31, 1998.  Externally, the Corporation is also continuing
its undertaking to inform and assist key customers in their Y2K compliance
efforts.
